>> rosemary, i was just in gaziantep, i went to a neighborhood where a building collapsed, i've seenulances, a lot of volunteers from, they were trying to save people under the rubble. the earthquake reaction is very quick, but we keep hearing about people stuck under rubbles in other city in the south of turkey, and they're still, trying to do as much as i can. i would say this is like -- turkey is not strange to earthquakes, but this is by far the strongest one since decades. and people have very bad memories about previous especially people remember an earthquake happen 24 years ago and those memories came back, there's a lot frightened here, a lot of people are my family, for example, they are staying at school. a lot of people are going to open areas, for example, in the situation where i live the highway to the airport which is out of the city is full with traffic jam because people are trying to get much away as possible from buildings, i've seen a, about two kilometers to the north of epicenter, i've seen a lot of the cars like hundreds of the cars moving away from gaziantep,

the epicentre was in gaziantep and the tremor has been felt across the region. united states geological survey said it was of 7.8 magnitude and at a depth of 10 kilometres, considered to be shallow. gaziantep has a local population of around two million people and is also hosting almost 500,000 syrian refugees. azadeh moshiri is our reporter. what can you tell us? this is what we know so far. the quaker�*s epicentre was in gaziantep, the southern part of turkey with a population of 2 million people. it is an industrial hub is lots of buildings chair. it's on the border of syria, so that's why it hosts about half a million syrian refugees will stop so it is an industrial hub, hosting many refugees, and the epicentre of this earthquake right now. when you look at the buildings, it is clear in the area that the damage is fairly significant. we have seen images of buildings that have completely collapsed. we believe the pictures we're showing you now are about a three or four hour drive from gaziantep and damage there is clear. turkey is no stranger to earthquakes.
